That link is for the subscribers-only section of the forums, and it is working fine.

I'll post my reply here as well so it's public.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Looks like the AIDL we use is being phased out together with Billing Library V1 and V2. I guess we need to do it by August! If we want to give developers at least 3 months to update their apps, we would need to be done by May. I'll try to get to this before that though.

The iap blocks have been updated to use Google Play Billing Library v4. Stencyl 4.1.0-beta3/b10806.

It's a little later than the August 2nd deadline for new apps. Fortunately, very little has changed, so updating should be simple.

This introduces two new blocks:

Code: [Select]

< product with ID [___] is pending >
[ mark product with ID [___] as [consumable/non-consumable] ]

"mark product with ID as consumable/non-consumable" must be used before the "buy" block can be used. I'd recommend marking each product ID at the start of the game.
"pending" may be used to see if a transaction with a slow payment method is still being processed.

Additionally, the "free unmanaged" block is deprecated, and will cause a compilation error if it's used. All consumable purchases (determined by the "mark product with ID" block) are now freed automatically.
